About Purple yam buns

Purple Yam Buns, also known as ube buns, are a delightful treat inspired by Filipino cuisine. They are made with a soft, fluffy bread base that's naturally colored and flavored by ube, a vibrant purple yam known for its subtly sweet, nutty taste. Key ingredients typically include flour, sugar, milk, butter, and mashed purple yam or ube extract. Ube is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, particularly Vitamin C and manganese, making these buns a source of natural nutrients. However, like most baked goods, they may also contain added sugars and fats, so moderation is key. These buns are often enjoyed as a snack, dessert, or breakfast item and stand out for their beautiful color and unique flavor profile, providing a small nutritional boost while satisfying a sweet craving.
